2. In the Start section, select "Norway" from the list box and
   enter "Haugesund" into the "City" field

3. In the End section, select "Norway" from the list box and
   enter "Trondheim" into the "City" field

4. Click on "Get Directions" ...

Here is the result: 

Start: 	Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway
